UNDER THE HOOD

Stan Slap

Fire Up and Fine-Tune Your Employee Culture

UNDER THE HOOD is a revolutionary guide to employee culture and how to work it for unflagging commitment and support on new strategies.

“You can’t sell it outside if you can’t sell it inside,” says bestselling author Stan Slap in this groundbreaking book about employee culture. Culture is the most overused but least understood concept in business. It can make or break any management plan—and any manager right along with it.

This deeply researched book reveals why an employee culture is an entirely separate organism living within a company, with its own purpose and priorities. It exists to protect itself, and it can’t be bluffed, bribed, or bullied into dependably doing anything. So how do you keep your employee culture energized and open to change in a way that doesn’t bankrupt the company? How do you protect your organization when the culture is most vulnerable—during mergers, fast growth, and under extraordinary pressure?

Slap’s answers include more than fifty action steps that are immediately applicable by any company and every manager. He also features the real stories of firms like Google and Samsung, intimate interviews with famed CEOs, and wild insights from unique employee cultures, including the film crew of the Super Bowl and Paul McCartney’s band.

Like Slap’s previous bestseller Bury My Heart at Conference Room B, this book is provocative, irreverent, heartfelt, and often very funny.

Stan Slap has revolutionized performance for many of the world’s most demanding organizations. His international consulting company, slap, specializes in achieving ferocious commitment in manager, employee, and customer cultures, the three groups that decide the success of any business. His client list ranges from Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft to HSBC and Viacom.

The Head of Cultural Engagement of BMW, Thomas Girst (based in Munich) will be providing a blurb for us to use on the US edition, and can provide it in German as well: “Nothing is more important for a successful business enterprise than the shared passion and values of its employees. ‘Under the Hood’ puts culture back to where it belongs: at the core of the company” “Nichts ist für den wirtschaftichen Erfolg von größerer Bedeutung als die berufliche Leidenschaft, die Haltung und Werte der Angestellten. Stan Slaps ‘Under the Hood’ positioniert Unternehmenskultur genau dort, wo sie hingehört: ins Zentrum eines jeden business case.”
